p62/sequestosome 1 deficiency accelerates osteoclastogenesis in vitro and leads to Paget’s disease–like bone phenotypes in mice
19 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
The sequestosome 1 gene encodes the p62 protein and is the major genetic risk factor associated with Paget's disease of bone. In 2004, p62 was reported to up-regulate osteoclast differentiation by activating the transcription factors Nfatc1 and NF-κB. Here, we characterized the osteoclastogenic potential of murine p62 −/− -derived cells compared with WT cells. Our data confirmed previous findings indicating that...
